Kat's Banana Quesadillas

 

1 lb cream cheese at room temperature 
1/2 cup confectioners" sugar 
2 med ripe bananas peeled 
10 x flour tortillas (7" dia) 
4 tbl butter 
2 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce warm, (see recipe) 
4 med bananas 
    Whipped cream 
    Fresh mint sprigs 

 Method : 
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and bananas, continue to beat until smooth. Spread 1/4 cup of the filling over half of each tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling and press slightly. Place on a large plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the filling sets, about 30 minutes.
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Pan-fry the tortillas in batches, 3 at a time, until golden on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat the above process with the remaining butter and filled tortillas.
To serve, slice each filled tortilla into thirds. Arrange the slices in the center of each serving plate. Spoon a 1/4 cup of the warm Caramel Sauce over each plate. Peel the bananas and slice 1/4-inch thick. Garnish each plate with the sliced bananas, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint.
This recipe yields 10 servings.
